Lewis on the Christian Life: Becoming Truly Human in the Presence of God (Theologians on the Christian Life)

“C. S. Lewiss theology is a mix of faithfulness to the creeds, brilliant analogies, rare good sense, and, unfortunately, a few areas of doctrinal weakness. Joe Rigneys book Lewis on the Christian Life accurately reports Lewiss theology as it relates to practical Christian living. He does an excellent job of bringing out the good sense and carrying on a respectful but critical conversation with Lewis about those shortcomings. The end result is a book that will help you understand Lewis and practice the Christian life. This is a book Im glad I read and one that you will want to read. I recommend it with enthusiasm.”

“A thoughtful, lucid, and beautiful exposition of a magnificent writer. Whether you are relatively new to C. S. Lewis or have read all his books, Joe Rigney will show you ideas and connections that are easily missed, and increase your appreciation for Lewiss insights on the Christian life.”

“C. S. Lewis gets to the heart of the human condition, and Joe Rigney gets to the heart of C. S. Lewis. Here is a much-needed book that offers a clear and concise overview of Lewiss vision for the Christian life. Rigneys take on Lewis is appreciative where deserved, critical where necessary, and always insightful in its application.”

“There may be no more important cultural question today than what it means to be human, and as Joe Rigney says early in this book, C. S. Lewis continues to be refreshing and unique on this question and so many others. Rigneys ability to reintroduce Lewis to readers is refreshing, unique, and on full display in this book.”

“Joe Rigney has written an engaging book that artfully pulls together much of what C. S. Lewis had to say about living for the glory of Jesus Christ. Drawing upon Lewiss books, essays, and letters, Rigney offers an insightful overview of the authors teaching on Christian discipleship.”
